Book : Back To Work

In Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy, President Bill Clinton gives us his perceptive views on the challenges facing the United States today and why government matters—presenting his ideas on restoring energy, economic growth, job creation, financial responsibility, resolving the mortgage crisis and other major challenges. In clear language he spells out how we got into the current economic crisis and how we can address many of our most vexing problems. He offers a specific 46-point description of programs and policies that would get America "back in the future business." They go from the macro to the micro, including ideas about improving international trade to supporting green programs and other strategies to deal with our immediate and long-term problems. Important insights from a man who understands the complex intertwining of economic, political and cultural issues and has proven his ability to deal with them successfully. Alfred A. Knopf.
